Welcome To Rapid Plastic

Through helping design products, building custom tooling and manufacturing precision parts we are building partnerships not just supplying our customers. Our mission is to provide you excellent service and support at every opportunity.

Rapid Plastic Solutions LLC is located in the beautiful Pikes Peak region of Americas’ Rocky Mountains. The focus at RPS is to be more than just an injection molder. We will be THE solution to your plastics production needs. Using the latest available technology and through our innovation we deliver only the highest quality American-made plastic parts, on time, at affordable prices.

Rapid Plastic Solutions believes in U.S. manufacturing. We source much of our technology and materials from inside the U.S. We believe you should be able to also. Rapid Plastic Solutions will manufacture your products or components right here in the U.S. with a globally competitive cost and lead time. RPS supplies some of the most difficult parts to some of the most demanding service industries on earth, or above it.

Injection Molding

Plastic injection molding is our core business. RPS can rapidly engineer and build both stand alone and industry standard Master Unit Die (MUD) plastic injection molds. From simple to complex, single to multi-cavity we have injection molding solutions that fit your needs. We offer some of the most advanced CAD CAM (link) technology available combined with diverse and highly trained craftsman. Our designers, mold makers and journeyman machinists collaborate on each project to bring you a quality tool that can deliver consistently accurate parts for years.

Plastic injection molding is a manufacturing process whereby heated plastic resin is injected into precision machined metal mold cavities under high pressure. When cooled it then solidifies into the desired shape. This process is used to produce parts which range from the very simple to the highly complex. Injection molding machines, typically called “presses” fitted with your custom American built RPS tooling can duplicate a single plastic part accurately millions of times in some cases. We will assist you in sourcing a material that provides the required properties, such as ultraviolet or chemical resistance, tensile strength, dimensional stability, etc.

Some common material types that can be injection molded include:

ABS Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene

ASA Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate

Nylon Polyamide

PBT Polybutylene Terephthalate

PC Polycarbonate

PE Polyethylene

PEI Polyether Imide

PET Polyethylene Terephthalate

PMMA Acrylic

POM Acetal

PP Polypropylene

PPA Polyphthalamide

PPE Polyphenylene Ether

PPS Polyphenylene Sulfide

PS Polystyrene

TPE Thermoplastic Elastomer

TPU Thermoplastic Polyurethane Elastomer

Secondary Operations, Packaging and Label Generation:

In addition to molding, we can perform for you a variety of secondary operations, including machining, sonic welding, kitting and assembling to make your parts as ready for use as possible. When your product is ready, you choose how it’s packaged and how it’s shipped. We can ship to your facility or directly to amazon(tm). Package and label design service, auto-bagging and 3D product renderings used in presentations or for web are available to help you create your vision, here in the USA.

Custom End of Arm Tooling (EOA):

If your project requires high production or medical sterility, we can design and build you in-house robotic end-of-arm tooling solutions that fit your specific needs.

3D Printing

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet adipiscium elit

3D printing:

RPS will assist you with the rapid prototyping of almost any shape. We will create an accurate prototype from your STL file or CAD drawing in just days, 24 hour lead times are also available. You will be able to verify design, fit and function without the time and higher costs of machining processes or prototype injection molding. Don’t have a CAD file of your part? Check out our design(link) page, we offer services that can help get you one.

3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing (AM), refers to processes used to synthesize a three-dimensional object. Successive layers of material are laid down under computer control. Objects can be of almost any shape or geometry and are produced using digital model data from your 3D model or another electronic data source such as an additive manufacturing file (AMF).

Need a part to test your concept? Get ahead on your latest project or your competition. Wether you are a business, entrepreneur, inventor or hobbyist looking for a solution, contact us (link) today to upload your files or discuss your 3d printing or prototyping needs.

RPS is an American business that supports American manufacturing. We are proud to use high quality 3D printers that are made here in the USA. We print and ship PLA, ABS, HIPS, HDPE, TPU (i.e., flexible filament), PC and some composites such as metal, carbon fibre or wood filled. Our build size is currently 200 mm (8”) x 250 mm (10”) x 200 mm (8”).

We will transform your vision into a physical reality. From there it’s up to you. Who knows, the next step might be a production quality injection molded part. RPS has the experience and a solution to take you each step of the way.

Design

Our team at RPS has been building plastic injection molds, prototyping parts and building custom tooling for over 50 years. Tailoring our full range of design services to fit your specific needs, RPS finds you a solution whatever stage of development you are in.

RapidPlastic Design

Part Design:

We view customers as partners. Consulting early on we are able to collaborate together on how best to meet your needs. We can offer many different paths forward that may improve part quality or tooling costs. We will assist you in sourcing a material that provides the required properties, such as ultraviolet or chemical resistance, tensile strength, dimensional stability, etc.

We offer 2D and 3D part creation from your drawings or sketches; we can even import your existing CAD model and make design changes.

3D Printing:

RPS has 3D Printing (link) available. Here you can prototype your new idea or your latest design change. Many different material types are available with lead times as little as 24 hours. contact us (link) with your projects’ requirements and to upload your files. Dental and implant customers please use the shipping address on our contact (link) page to send us your custom filament.

Injection Mold Design:

RPS employs both industry standard Master Unit Die (MUD) units and stand alone injection molding (link) solutions. Our customers need us to be up to date with the latest technology and offer them options. RPS can design your single cavity prototype or create you a multi-cavity production tool with slides and a hot runner. It’s up to you!

RPS uses some of the latest industry leading CAD technology. Not every project requires the same tool. We use a couple different CAD software here at RPS. This allows us to better cater to your specific needs.

3D CNC Tool-Path Creation:

RPS uses the latest available high-speed CNC machining technology reducing the time it takes to get you a finished product. We have many different machining strategies available to us to create your 3D part geometry. Accurate and complete machining is critical for todays complex shapes. It reduces the amount of polishing required where detail can be lost; therefore reducing man-hours which is a savings we can then pass on to you our customer.

CNC Machining:

RPS sources as many of the resources we use as possible here in the USA. When your mold is designed and the necessary tool-paths have been generated, we machine your geometry on American-built, high-speed CNC machining centers. We use an innovative approach to achieve high feed-rates, accuracy, and excellent surface finishes. RPS — American manufacturing done right.
